The Story of a Soul: The Autobiography of St. Therese of Lisieux by Thérèse de Lisieux
5.0
Clear, simple and yet profound. The first time I attempted to read this book I couldn’t make it through the first chapter without feeling repelled. This time around I read and reread almost every page just to soak in her every insight. I couldn’t get enough.
The straight forward way she explains her experiences, how she lays bare the graces God has given her, and how she uses suffering, even pursues suffering for the glory of God is nothing short of beautiful. After the first few chapters I felt as if I knew myself better. Half way into the book it was as if I had met a new best friend. Without a doubt, I’ll be rereading this book again.
